What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I live in California, however the court case that names the biolagical father is in Virginia. I would like to find out how to remove the bio father's name from the birth certificate so that when i get married next year, my husband will be able to add his name and become my son's father. I have not recieved child support from the bio father since, June 2002. Can i remove his name on the basis of abadonment or not? Thanks for any help, anyone can provide me.
